Artificial Intelligence and Data Science

Just as electricity brought about far-reaching changes over 100 years ago, artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally started to change our lives. AI is the next phase of the industrial revolution, and it has established itself firmly in our society. Almost all branches of industry have been affected by the ongoing transformation through its algorithms. The Master of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science programme (MAID) at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology addresses this transformation by providing students with the broad and in-depth skills required of experts working in and developing AI. Moreover, data science forms an integral part of this study programme. AI experts need to be able to obtain, process and store enormous amounts of data, which is at the root of AI and development processes. Unique to Master's programmes in this field, is the integrated internship that students are required to complete and enables them to put theory to practice. In addition, the MAID study programme serves to strengthen EU goals of cooperative learning, research and teaching. Due to the cross border nature of the study programme, its embeddedness in regional high-tech companies and its international character, students will not only gain expertise and practice in this field but benefit from a diverse student body that will promote intercultural competence and provide a solid foundation for innovation.
